ViacomCBS announced this morning that all of its Super Bowl LV timeslots, at $5.5 million for 30 seconds is sold out. One of those slots will belong to M&M’S. The candy brand, and creative partner BBDO New York, are inviting fans to be the first to virtually preview the brand’s 30-second Super Bowl ad for the first time ever.
Audiences can tune in on February 3 at 9:00 a.m. EST via Zoom, to watch as M&M’S beloved spokescandy, Yellow, takes center screen to host the premiere. He will also be joined by a few surprise guests throughout the premiere, including M&M’S racing partner, Coach Joe Gibbs.
“M&M’S believes fun and humor can actually have the power to bring us closer together,” said Sarah Long, Chief Marketing Officer, Mars Wrigley North America. “In a year when so many of us have connected virtually, premiering the M&M’S Super Bowl ad on a virtual platform was the perfect way to share our latest campaign evolution, while building on Mars Wrigley’s purpose to create better moments that make the world smile.”
